Brand New!

This guy's the reason for my lack of posts lately--our new grandson, Grayson Lee Wicks! He was born Wednesday evening and is doing great. Our daughter and son-in-law are exhausted but thrilled. How about that head of hair?

We're spending some time here at Grayson's house in Portland, trying to help out and not be in the way. I'll try to do a little painting while we're here and write a post or two. But if you don't hear from me for awhile, blame it on Grayson!

Hi Don,Let me add my name to the growing list of those offering congratulations to all of you. And I'm jealous of that head of hair!Don, if the family, oops, I mean you need a break, give me a call and I'll show you my studio and we can do lunch. Sincerely,Gary.

About Me

I still feel like a beginner, even after a lifetime of painting. That’s the wonderful thing about art-making—each blank canvas offers the opportunity to rebuild your world anew. How many job descriptions offer that?

I grew up in rural northeast Oregon and started drawing and painting when very young. I’ve painted large murals all over the country, illustrated books, taught workshops and exhibited in galleries and museums. My art has traveled down two seemingly disparate but parallel paths: one more traditionally realist and the other more abstract. Sometimes they overlap.

WHAT"S IT ALL ABOUT?

Welcome to my daily painting blog.
Here's the deal: most everyday I trek out into the wilds of the woods, or maybe the wilds of my studio to complete a new small painting, usually oil on gessoed hardboard, 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 inches in size. Then I take a picture of it, close my eyes, cross my fingers and push the button that posts it on this blog, floating out into the virtual world.
